Description Branislav Náter 2015-09-03 13:56:58 UTC

Description of problem:
/etc/cups/subscriptions.conf file permissions are changed after cups fills file with content. See bellow.

# rpm -V cups
.M.......  c /etc/cups/subscriptions.conf

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cups-1.6.3-22.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# service cups restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart  cups.service
# service cups-browsed restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart  cups-browsed.service
# ls /etc/cups/subscriptions.conf -la
-rw-r--r--. 1 root lp 0 Jul 21 11:39 /etc/cups/subscriptions.conf
# cat /etc/cups/subscriptions.conf

# wait a while "read" for "others" is missing
# ll /etc/cups/subscriptions.conf
-rw-r-----. 1 root lp 249 Sep  3 09:48 /etc/cups/subscriptions.conf

and rpm -V cups is unhappy:
# rpm -V cups
.M.......  c /etc/cups/subscriptions.conf

Comment 1 Jiri Popelka 2015-10-29 12:04:44 UTC

Cups scheduler re-writes the configuration files with mode 640, so I think we should ship/install it with the same mode (we use 644 atm).

from scheduler/conf.h:
VAR int	ConfigFilePerm VALUE(0640) /* Permissions for config files */

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2015-11-02 09:50:05 UTC

Agreed.
